Tax Analytics: A New Era for Tax Planning & Compliance

Insight-driven Advantage

Deloitte recently hosted regional Dbriefs webinars to discuss the hot topic of tax data analytics. The
audience was polled on how far they have progressed with analytics, the challenges they face, and the
ways they are using these very powerful tools.

This paper looks at the results and tax and analytics from a variety of perspectives, including the first steps of many tax functions in adopting analytics, why analytics is relevant for tax, how the two interact, how taxpayers and tax authorities are already using analytics, and the importance of visualization in allowing users to interact with their data and communicate their findings.
